Great potential emergency vehicle.

I picked this up on Ebay, from an Argentina dealer. It is a 1993 Grumman Olson van. Bimbo is a South American bakery. The model looks to be well proportioned, and scales out to the advertised 1:43 scale. It has some nice detail, although in black plastic. Wipers, nice mirrors and front and rear bumper. They can always be painted. The drawback is the cargo doors on the rear. It would not be a huge project to cut those out and install the more common larger doors with windows. The roof appears to be plastic, so be careful putting the model in the stripper. A bonus though if you are doing a white over paint job. You could make some pretty nice emergency vehicles with these and some of those vintage FRR parts.

A lot of old Hazmat and Rescue units around the United States back in the day have driven something like that. Nice find Rich.

Thanks for sharing
